N64/GC definitely survived on the strength of their 1st party lineups.... that was pretty much the only reason to buy them aside from some outstanding 3rd party games like THQ's WCW/WWF games, and RE4 on GC.

It's kind of ironic today because Sony fans used to mock Nintendo fans for basically having only Mario and Zelda and the like back during the N64 and GC days while Sony's success during those gens was heavily reliant on third parties, and now all of a sudden with the tables turned, Sony fans now tout their first party exclusives as their console of choice has lost many 3rd party exclusives over the past gen.


Its not ironic at all, there is a difference between loosing 3rd party exclusivity and straight up loosing 3rd party games period(looking at you N64) even with that train of thought. Its not like most of thost games that went multiplat even went to Ninty consoles
